	I am sure that he did. I read his own writings and arudra's
writings testifying to that effect.

	I thought that of all people raamakRUshNa would figure out  gaaru
 why I picked  danDin. It is not for his taste, pada_laalitya or
bhaava_laalitya. Not too long ago, in an effort to tell us why SreeSree is
not a mahaa_kavi, somebody quoted danDin's lakshaNa SaaStra at length. As
I said earlier, if danDin continues to be somebody's standard, so be it.
It is not mine.
